At same time my stabiltrac idiot light comes on to get it serviced so make appt and they find no problem with stabiltrac and tell me im drineing with foot on the brake. However I did some checking and if I step on my brakes let off at times my brake lights stay on. Ive al so noticed when I auto start brake lights stay on .

2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2015

The driver side door handle completely broke and now my door will not open. This is a real problem with several Chevrolet models my wife also has a 08 tahoe and all four handles have been replaced and the driver side has pulled loose again. For the price we have to pay for our vehicles we should be getting a better product.

3 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/13/2015

We were making a stop at the light , when a 18-wheeler didn't stop and hit us in the back ,pushing us towards the bus that was in front of us , making the glass of the back break and throwing all the crystals in our body and clothes ,the air bags never open , the front seats were broken and 3 of the 4 doors couldn't close anymore, the driver tried to make a move to the left or right , but he could not , because we were stuck, when we realize there were no major injury, we stayed until the red cross came to check our condition,but there were crystals everywhere so we couldn't move without hurting ourselves. We buy the truck with 2 miles,we we are the only owners.

I was driving into the parking garage at work to a parking spot. As I braked and slowed turning into the parking spot the truck accelerated and crashed into a concrete support beam. Airbags deployed and the truck suffered quite a bit of damages to the passenger side front end. I am unsure of speed at time of accident.
